Neet Grewal
Neet Grewal is a lifelong resident of Western Washington and committed activist. Currently serving as chair of the King County Young Republicans, she ran for Kent City Council in 2025 under the bold slogan “Clean Up Kent.” Born and raised locally, she’s the proud daughter of two Boeing engineers, with her passion for public service inspired early on by her late father’s deep community political involvement, which remains her greatest motivation to this day. A graduate of the University of Washington with a degree in Political Science, she wasted no time putting her education into action, working tirelessly on countless local, state, and national initiatives to bring meaningful change to the people she serves. She’s worked on more than 100 campaigns nationwide including for President Trump in all seven swing states.
During her city council campaign, her platform was driven by five key priorities: public safety, solving homelessness and drug abuse, boosting the local economy, strengthening democratic representation, and protecting family values. Neet proved her dedication to fairness by helping lead the successful effort to create single-member districts in Kent so every neighborhood has a voice. She’s consistently out in the community, hosting forums, surveying residents, listening to concerns, and taking action to improve people’s lives.
Beyond politics, Neet enjoys walking her chocolate lab, swimming in Lake Washington or saltwater oceans when on vacation, exploring the outdoors on ATVs, composing music as a first soprano, and supporting the theater arts, embodying the balance between hard work and creative spirit.
